(62,325 posts)who was working on a contract to SMEAR GLENN GREENWALD and PROGRESSIVE GROUPS, pitching his contract to such wonderful 'allies' (thanks for helping them) as the Chamber of Commerce and BOA.
The world knows what happened, thanks to Anonymous, who exposed where these smear campaigns COME FROM.
For once, thanks Anonymous, the GOOD GUYS, that would be Progressive Orgs and people like Greenwald, WON. We KNEW that the sudden smearing of people like Greenwald, was suspicious, the same old talking points repeated over and over again.
It's useless to keep it up. Greenwald is where he should be, but might not have been, had Aaron Barr not been so sure of himself that he challenged Anonymous leading to them posting all of his emails online for the world to see.
And what we saw confirmed the suspicions of many that there was more to the sudden attacks on Greenwald than just a few disgruntled online right wingers.
It's astounding though that ANYONE on the LEFT is still trying so hard to continue that smear campaign when the FACTS are out there.
Why did they want to smear Greenwald?? Because he is a REAL JOURNALIST, NOT on the payroll of the Corporate Media, determined to TELL THE TRUTH no matter what.
Snowden and Greenwald are heroes. The majority of the American people now support Snowden, despite the desperate attempts to smear him and the courageous journalists who have refused to be intimidated by LIES and SMEARS.
